House Veryndral
Motto: "We Sail Where Others Sink."
Sigil: A crescent moon over an open portal, ringed in tide foam.
Vassals to: Nominally neutral, tolerated by House Syltharis. Their independence is a point of pride, but their magic aligns with the elven traditions of old.
Status after The Gilded Rebellion: Stayed neutral and emerged unscathed.
House Veyndral occupies a unique position within Eldoria's political landscape, neither fully integrated into the kingdom's power structure nor truly independent of it. Their ancestral territories lie along the Veilsea-a small area of the Mistral Deep that borders Northern Eldoria and is rumored to have thin membranes between Aeloria and other planes of existence at certain times of the year. This geographical peculiarity has shaped their development into unparalleled traders in arcane commodities.
The Veyndral trading fleet consists of vessels constructed from wood harvested exclusively during fey-touched lunar phases, treated with alchemical preparations whose formulas remain jealously guarded family secrets. These ships possess the remarkable ability to sail through areas of planar thinning without suffering the reality distortions that would damage conventional vessels. The family maintains this capability derives from ancient pacts with entities they euphemistically refer to as "the Tidal Powers"—agreements sealed in contracts written in ink that changes color depending on the reader's truthfulness of intent.
